Eriksen homage planned

Denmark and Belgium celebrate Christian Eriksen’s continued recovery from cardiac arrest with a tribute in the 10th minute of today’s game.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku is Eriksen’s team-mate at Inter Milan, while center-backs Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen have spent many seasons with the Dane at Tottenham.

Lukaku announced that if the ball is thrown out of play, play will be paused in the 10th minute – as the midfielder is wearing the Danish national team’s number 10 jersey – as a token of respect.

Italy in the last 16

Manuel Locatelli scored two goals in Italy’s 3-0 victory over Switzerland and advanced to the second round of the European Championship with one game to go.

Locatelli’s first goal came after a textbook exchange with Sassuolo team-mate Domenico Berardi in the middle of the first half in Rome. His second came with a long and low shot shortly after the break that immobilized the Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Ciro Immobile scored the last goal from a long distance in 89th place.

At the beginning of the game, Giorgio Chiellini canceled a goal because of a handball via video review. Then the Italian captain was eliminated with an apparent left thigh injury.

Scotland a “dangerous enemy”

Former England captain Terry Butcher says Gareth Southgate’s side must forget their successful Euro 2020 start and focus on beating Scotland.

“I think Scotland will be a dangerous enemy – they still are, even more so, now they have lost the first game,” he told PA news agency.

“They would feel unhappy if they lost the first game because there was nothing between the teams but the finish. I thought they looked good, I thought they looked good and they will certainly give England a hard time on Friday . ” .

“England have to forget the game against Croatia and forget everything else because this game is taking care of itself, it’s England-Scotland’s own merit.”

Robertson: Let’s prove to doubters that they’re wrong

Andy Robertson says Scotland are keen to show what they can against rivals England and earn respect.

The two old rivals will meet at Wembley Stadium on Friday. Scotland want to recover after the defeat in the opening game against the Czech Republic. England will try to reach six points from two games after beating Croatia last time.

Robertson knows the size of the occasion and the Liverpool full-back is keen to use it to get his nation the attention it deserves.

“I think we’re probably more respected now because we qualified for a tournament, but we’re still not as respected as we’d all like,” said Robertson.

“A chance to play England is a chance to show what we can do to people who doubt Scottish football. We gave them a tough game in 2017 and will need the same level of performance as we did this evening. “
